This is another atrocity that will harm Conservative and Liberal Americans, long after the politicians responsible are gone.
Do the powers that be at NPR hope that giving the Heritage Foundation so much air time to blather about how they think the ICE raids are going swimmingly will result in getting their funding back?

They have created a perfect blend of cherry-picked science with only the most convenient theology; a toxic soup of pseudoscience. We on science's side all need to understand that this is what we're up against.

It's important to understand how pervasive these unscientific ideas are, and how they're being promoted.

For a Democratic leader to consent to a framework that portrays trans people as a group that is trying to take something away from other people is flatly unforgivable. It is what the right does. And a Democrat who will do it to one group will do it to any group.

He also conceded on trans inmates and gender affirming care for youth.
It's so much worse than being reported.

My trans kid and I both wrote him strongly-worded letters. I'm in California and until now thought he was an ally, this took me completely be surprise. I won't support his candidacy for any office ever again short of a complete retraction and some material support for trans athletes here.

While some Dems like Newsom abandon trans people, these reps show the power of representation.
Watch their speech.

Y'all better let him know how you feel about him, too, because either he really does hold anti-trans views, or he thinks playing with the Charlie Kirks of the world will win him MAGA votes, and I'm not OK with either of those being true.

My neighbor was using his blower even after I told him it was toxic and that blowers were banned. It's scary to know how much more of this was drifting into our house because of him than already was.
